(English)
Zoé's original and recognizable paintings are inspired by vintage photography and film noir in a mix of pop culture and science fiction icons. They give us an alienating almost nostalgic image of the future through historical and contemporary portraits: a bizarre world, beautifully crafted on canvas with acrylic paint and airbrush techniques. The paintings of Zoé Byland recall the time of polite girls in their best clothes posing for the family portrait, but she undermines our expectations with a haze of mystery by a series of strange additions to her images.
